Todays update, even MORE exciting!!

I just got back to the hospital from work and Eddie was quite proud to show me that he is feeding-tube free! This is great news. He scooped the old tube out of the garbage to show it to me "Here it is. . ." He says that they've determined that his appetite is just fine and that his levels are all fine. He'll have to drink a protein drink everyday ~ but big deal ~ I'll pour it in him myself. That removes the last thing they were able to come into his room during the night and bug him about - turning it off. He also had another shower today, that always makes him feel better, he doesn't even need anything for pain before he gets pounded by the water.

( I suspect he will miss that tube as he has had that as his constant copmpanion since the accident!)

That latest update really is good news. I am so glad to hear that he is constantly improving. He really has been through so much, you all have.

Wonderful news about Eddie

I suppose that feeding tube could also be the reason for infections? I am so glad to hear that he's now feeding tube free, infection free AND had a shower.

I think frequently of him and hope he continues to improve

Barbara, anything that invades his body could be a source of infection, that is one reason why that is such great news that it has been removed! It was such a problem eating with that thing in the way that he has had a real problem with it. NOW he is completely MOBILE! He was very embarrassed the way people would stare at him when we would take him around the hospital but I know it was shocking to many to see this thing hanging out of his nose.. This means maybe he can look more "normal" and not be stared at. They are also letting him wear scrubs and more "normal" type clothing to go out of his room.
